(Nasdaq: GBIO), a biotechnology company working to change what’s possible for people living with T cell-driven autoimmune diseases, reported business highlights and first quarter 2025 financial results."Our selective, redosable cell-targeted lipid nanoparticle (ctLNP) delivery system enables precise modulation of T cells with siRNA, opening mechanisms that can powerfully reduce or eliminate autoreactive T cell activity while supporting immune balance,” said Geoffrey McDonough, M.D., chief executive officer of Generation Bio. “This innovative approach could allow us to address undruggable intracellular T cell targets, paving the way for first-in-class treatments that could meaningfully enhance the standard of care for T cell-driven autoimmune diseases.”Generation Bio plans to develop its novel siRNA therapeutics for autoimmune diseases in indications where there is a prominent role of T cell pathology in disease progression and where current treatments have limitations in efficacy, safety, and patient experience. The company plans to announce the target and portfolio strategy for its lead ctLNP-siRNA program in mid-2025.

About Generation Bio Generation Bio is a biotechnology company working to change what’s possible for people living with T cell-driven autoimmune diseases. The company is developing redosable therapeutics that reprogram T cells in vivo to reduce or eliminate the production and persistence of autoreactive T cells, which erroneously recognize and attack the body’s own tissues, causing autoimmune diseases. Generation Bio’s innovative approach leverages cell-targeted lipid nanoparticles (ctLNP) to selectively deliver small interfering RNA (siRNA) to T cells. This combination of selective delivery and an intracellular, genetically precise mechanism of target engagement could unlock a series of high-value, historically undruggable disease-driving genes in autoimmunity.
